The January 6th committee reportedly cost the American taxpayers $3.3 million in 2022, plus an undisclosed added sum from June to December 2021. We now learn that the narrative” (narratives used to be fairytales) they produced is a lie, fundamentally untrue.
Unlike in a court of law, where prosecutors can be sanctioned, disbarred, evidence and perhaps the entire case was thrown out for failure to reveal exculpatory evidence – evidence of innocence – the politically motivated (some might say obsessed) January 6th committee suppressed key evidence of innocence – both Donald Trump’s and that of those detained, pressed to confess, prosecuted.
The latest report by Chairman Laudermilk’s “investigation into the investigation,” a methodical peeling back of what was known then, revealed and suppressed, is breathtaking.
It shows that the committee’s vice-chairmen, then-congressmen Liz Cheney and Ben Thompson, actively intimidated witnesses, seemed to have wanted to browbeat confessions, insisted on intentions they did not have, and then went one step further… fabricated and suppressed evidence.
Learning Donald Trump authorized the use of the National Guard to protect the Capitol, empowering then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and DC Mayor Bowser to do so, the committee consciously suppressed that evidence created the damning counter-story that he had not done so.
They took facts plainly vindicating others, showing Republican members of Congress never did any “surveillance” for anyone, and simply pretended it was not so, argued the opposite. They ignored visual and audio tapes, dozens of them, showing much of what the committee alleged was untrue.
They suppressed evidence of key witnesses who vindicated the president’s actions, before and during the protest by 120,000 of COVID-related irregularities, several hundred unlawfully entering the US Capitol. They suppressed evidence of complicity by those in authority, waving people in.
They suppressed evidence of well-known reporters climbing through broken windows, as if alerted to expect this, moving through the Capitol with non-violent protestors, unimpeded by uniformed and undercover law enforcement, seemingly encouraged – and not one prosecuted.
They suppressed evidence, videos hard to contest, which appear to show a bomb-sniffing dog finding nothing near the DNC, no “pipe bomb,” then a camera turning away then back to what it had just photographed, only now suddenly where there had been none, a pipe bomb. Odd.
They discovered hundreds of files, hidden by the leadership of the January 6th committee, never revealed to the public, and then when Republicans learned of them, Democrats refused to give investigating Republicans the encryption keys to the files. On what planet …?
They discovered, despite the law plainly establishing separation of powers, that Democrats, two days before Republicans took the House gavel, handed interview tapes and transcripts to the White House, out of sight. Since the White House had no right to them, Republicans sought them by subpoena of the White House, Justice, and Homeland Security – got only “redacted” documents.
None of this is legal, none of this is right, none of this is constitutional. All of it betrays public trust, and some are borderline criminal. Non-lawyer Liz Cheney reportedly interrogated, intimidated, and – in the opinion of some – harassed witnesses, fuming when they did not change their story for her.
Again, this is not what we elect officials to do, to abuse power, create false narratives, persecute those they disagree with, and lie to the American people. In the former Soviet Union, modern Iran, China, or Russia – maybe, but not here in the United States of America.
But look at the pattern: False statements and illegal surveillance by Democrats in 2016, false reports to the FISA Court, and three Muller reports ($6.8 million, $10 million, and $8 million) on the false “Russia collusion” story initiated by Hillary Clinton’s campaign – a candidate who herself destroyed 30,000 emails, held classified material she had no right to, and sold her office.
Her campaign strategy – creating a false narrative against her opponent, hiring people to report on it, briefing it to the FBI and DOJ, then leaking it to the press, after also briefing Obama and Biden, all produced what? No accountability, a massive waste of taxpayer money to sully an opponent.
Then look at the lies and taxpayer-funded slop that Mr. Biden has dished, making anyone who voted for Trump an “enemy of the people” (notably quoting Robespierre and Stalin), taking money from China, Ukraine, Romania for personal gain, no prosecution for sharing classified documents illegally for money, pretending his son’s laptop – filled with criminal evidence – was nothing, twisting the typically-unifying State of the Union into another excuse to defame those who disagree with him, and on and on.
This is where we are, what needs to stop: Trillions of dollars are being wasted, misapplied, not used to protect the country but to betray our security at the border, overseas, and at home – while billions have now been spent to defend the indefensible, public corruption at the highest reaches of power.
If the average American – the traditional Democrat, dogged Independent, or conservative Republican – does not stop this, see this as alarming, we are lost. We will lose what we cherish, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, not to mention accountable government. The stakes could not be higher: Accountability or total loss of control. These taxpayer funded lies – must stop.

The country is no longer safe. There is danger from within our own political parties and our streets are not safe for anyone. The American peoples tax money, social security, Freedom of speech. right to bear arms, right to vote, medicare, secure borders, even some of our strongest allies are now abandoned for the extremist terrorists support by the left. The list goes on and on. If the fractured Republican party does not rid itself of the Rhinos and band together against the extreme left, I fear we are headed for a revolution of which we have never seen. The existence of our country is teetering on the edge of a cliff and it will not take much more to fall off the cliff. Election interference and weaponization of the justice department? We already live in a Soviet country!
Well RBC,
Since the Democrats have no interest in adhering to either the rule of law, any sort of code of ethics that even vaguely mirrors the values of the Founding Fathers or expressed any true interest in following the Constitution is any manner when it doesn’t align with their Marxist goals, which has been demonstrated countless times, what do you propose as the specific solution? Rulings from the Supreme Court are routinely ignored, when they don’t match their socialist agenda, that the Democrats are imposing daily on the country. Likewise, the same goes for the rule of law, as existing laws of all types are either ignored or so twisted in their distorted interpretations as to be unrecognizable.
Please don’t suggest we simply rely on voting, because the Democrats have adopted every proven facet of the Carter – Baker report that outlined all the various ways elections can be manipulated or outright stolen, as the new and improved “new normal” of voting. The results of which we have already experienced multiple times now since the 2020 election. The stakes and potential outcomes you reference at the end of your article are already here.
P.S.
What do you think of Putin’s recent re-election to yet another 6-year term? Amazing how, if one controls the entire election process and your political opposition is either removed ahead of time via lawfare or outright assassination, how someone like Putin can just cruise to yet another 6-year term with 87 percent of the vote. By the way, he’s not unique. The same methodology is practiced by the leaders in China, Turkey, Brazil, Venezuela and elsewhere where authoritarian rule exists.
Here is a question that I have been asking ever since this illegitimate, corrupt, criminal, treasonous administration took control of our nation: Where do we go, to whom do we turn, for the administration of justice and enforcement of the law, when those whose duty and responsibility it is to administer justice and enforce the law (the DOJ and the AG) not only refuse to do their jobs and fulfill their responsibilities, but are themselves actively engaged in violating the law? What do we do?
“They suppressed evidence of well-known reporters climbing through broken windows, as if alerted to expect this, moving through the Capitol with non-violent protestors, unimpeded by uniformed and undercover law enforcement, seemingly encouraged – and not one prosecuted.” They did arrest Blaze News’ Steve Baker… of course not an MSM “journalist”.
God Bless you Robert Charles for speaking the truth about all that has happened and continues to happen.
I pray daily that “we the people ” will wake up and work to save this great nation and the freedoms so many before us have worked for, and our military where many have given their life.
PLEASE AMERICA, WAKE UP!!!
Before the Hollywood-produced January 6th hearings, they should have had the usual disclaimer: “The following events are a work of fiction and is not based on any persons, living or dead.” It must be fiction because all of a sudden the left sure love the Cheneys! Except an unarmed woman was shot. The only reality is Ashley Babbitt is dead.
I want to say this revolution is the fastest,neatest cleanest and bloodlessnessed ever Took decades of planning and organizing even though it seems overnight We slept knowingly while revolutionaries never stopped plotting and strategizing We are the ones who dropped the torch instead of passing it on Our grandchildren are conditioned to live in a different world Perhaps 2076 will see another revolution
The time for dealing with emergencies is at the time those emergencies occur , it would not be in the interest of good sense to think in terms of planning a response to something that has the capability to cause massive imbalance in the systematic way of thinking that concerns the business of government. To maintain order, to respect the idea of following the established law for dealing with some situation – standard procedure – things that make stability possible. And consideration of Honor, Honesty, Integrity ,Courage and Loyalty – all of those qualities need to be applied to fix the accountability that needs to be fixed. It would be good ,for the spirit of making the necessary corrections to remember the last sentence of the Declaration Of Independence — ” And for the support of this Declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes , our sacred Honor .” Very good article , intelligent suggestions for making it possible for Truth prevail. Well done Robert !
Sir Winston must be spinning in his grave.I weep for my adopted country.Please God bless Her again!
It’s hard to know what to believe among the various “news” sources. I do trust your view of events because of your experience in government. It is just so infuriating that these democrats and some republicans can get away with these tactics and spend our money doing so. The only recourse we have is our one vote. If only there were a way to get the truth to everyone (maybe a giant screen atop the capitol, lol).
I wish AMAC would allow me to share articles! When I try to do so, the person I wish to share with has to join AMAC in order to read the article. I think it would be tremendous benefit for others to see these articles, and then perhaps more people would also join when they can see what else it is to be a member!
I think it’s important to publicly refute what has been done to our country and people! Speak out and do not be timid folks!
Convention of States may fix????????☮️
We have never seen a man so persecuted since Jesus Christ. Unbelievably, ironic or not, coincidence or not, Trump’s grandmother’s maiden name was Christ!Elizabeth “Christ” Trump was the backbone of the Family business after her husband died and before her young son was old enough to take the reins. Another weird parallel to the biblical story of Christ is Trump’s mother. Mary Anne’s name mirroring that of Jesus’s mother’s name, Mary, and that of her mother’s name–Anne.Now I’m no Bible thumper, but I don’t need to be hit in the head with one to see that there is some weird strong correlation here. Add to that this sudden perverted prosecution of Jews, the assault on Christianity, and you got yourself a whole new chapter to add to the Good Book! Make of what you will. But remember, God, Karma, whatever you subscribe to, works in mysterious ways. I wouldn’t count Trump out.
What can we say except
Who can and will do something about it? Those in positions of legal power MUST go after these criminals with the determination that they will win the court cases and put them where they should be already!
